Ms. Nittha "Mae Pook" Wongwan was arrested for allegedly poisoning her two children and exploiting their suffering on social media to solicit public donations.
Doctors treating her second child, Im Boon, suspected orally administered poison due to suspicious mouth blisters, noting similar symptoms in her deceased elder child, Om Yim, which led to a police complaint.
Police discovered 20 million baht in bank accounts, believed to be from public donations, after Mae Pook claimed to be a single mother raising children with rare illnesses.
Mae Pook faces charges including attempted murder, assault causing death, exploiting children for ill-gotten gains, and public fraud, though she denies harming her children.
